I’ve spoken this week to multiple people who have at least discussed the possibility of running for office with Mr. Schultz and Mr. Iger. Like Mr. Schultz, Mr. Benioff has pursued an ambitious social and philanthropic agenda. “Most chief executives aren’t performers.”And chief executives “aren’t prepared for the scrutiny,” Mr. Gergen said. Because someone will.”Mr. Gergen suggested that some chief executives might want to lower their sights. “I think business chief executives tend to make better governors or mayors,” he said.
